Peter Sterling was the first player back in 1986 to win the coveted award and Nathan Cleary was the last to take out the honours in the 2023 NRL Grand Final. The latter will have the opportunity to write history in 2024 and become the first every player to win the Clive Churchill Medal three times in their career, equally the record held by Bradley Clyde and Billy Slater as two-time winners of the award.

Bets.com.au expert Ryan and Jeremy have sat down and discussed why it will be a battle of the No. 7 as the two favourites for the 2024 Clive Churchill Medal and give you their opinion on why it will be either Nathan Cleary or Jahrome Hughes who will take out the award.

2024 Clive Churchill Medal Predictions


Nathan Cleary (Penrith Panthers) $4.50 dabble

The 2021 & 2023 winner is the obvious pick to win his third Clive Churchill medal and with good reason. The Panthers halfback has had an injury interrupted season, but when he has been on the field he hasn’t missed a beat and has been the key that unlocks the Panthers all over the field.

Cleary dug Penrith out of a 24-8 hole in last year’s Grand Final to lead the Panthers to a 26-24, converting his own try in the 78th minute after kicking a 40/20 and getting a try assist that turned the result on its head. 

The Panthers are never out if Cleary is on the field and simply looking back to his Preliminary Final against the Sharks last week where he had 3 try assists, 2 linebreak assists along with 502 kicking metres that kept his team on the front foot is enough to warrant his favourite tag.

Jahrome Hughes (Melbourne Storm) $5.00 PlayUp

By the time this prediction is read Jahrome Hughes could very well be the 2024 Dally M Medalist after a superb season for the Storm, leading Melbourne through the rollercoaster of a season they have had dealing with multiple injuries to their other stars.

One thing has been constant throughout the season and that is Melbourne’s halfback Jahrome Hughes and the consistency of his game that has lead whatever troops he has had on the park to victory. 

Hughes finished the year ranked third in try assists and linebreak assists record 26 of each. The Kiwi international has also has 12 tries to his name, which includes the hattrick he scored in the Preliminary Final against the Roosters last week. 

As his opposite number, Hughes’ kicking changes the game and this battle with Cleary could well and truly decide the match and who will be crowned the 2024 NRL Premiers.
